Functions
1. AC – ON/OFF
ON: The air conditioning is on. It is controlled
by the system's AUTO function. This way,
incoming air is cooled and dehumidified.
OFF: When the defroster function is activated
the air conditioning is switched on automati-
cally (can be switched off using the AC button).
2. Air quality system, recirculation/
multifilter*
Certain cars are equipped with a "Multifilter"
and air quality sensor. The Multifilter separates
gases and particles, thus reducing the volume
of odours and pollutants. The air quality sensor
detects increased levels of contaminants in the
outside air. When the air quality sensor detects
contaminated outside air, the air intake is
closed and the air in the passenger compart-
ment is recirculated. The Multifilter also cleans
the air recirculating in the passenger compart-
ment.
